Here is a shelter I found this weekend at the beautiful village of Balad Sayt in the middle of the Hajar Mountains in Oman. In Oman, with temperatures ranging from 100-120 Fahrenheit, the insides of cars get extremely hot. Many parking lots, even here at the university, have open air parking spots with awnings built over them. Here is a makeshift shelter for a villager’s SUV. Living in Balad Sayt, the people must preserve their cars, because they’re so far from civilization. Without a car, they would be totally isolated.
